GENERATIONS : FAMILY PHOTO GALLERY

Nina Mildenhall


Kathleen Ryan came from Southern Ireland and John Beckfoŕd came from Westmoreland Jamaica. They found they had a lot in common when they came to Birmingham. The welcome to both sides was hard when they arrived in England. They both worked all there life even after retirement and both stayed together through the good and the bad in life. Sadly John passed away in 2011 and Kathleen passed in 2014, leaving two children and four grandchildren, passing on the respect for people of colour and religion.

Lyn di Mascio


This is my nonna and nonno. Her parents fled Italy. They had il baccio della morte. The mafias kiss of death. Maria Carmina eloped with Giuseppe (my great grandparents). She had been promised to someone else. They jumped on the first boat not knowing the destination. When they arrived here they were sent to Birmingham where they set up a boarding house in the old Italian quarter. Giuseppe also made ice cream and sold it.

Rhoda Poyser


This is me in the pram in 1952, I am now 70. My Sister and Mum are with me at the prefab in Hobmoor Road, South Yardley, where we lived. My Mum and Dad were married in 1939 when my Dad was in the army. He was demobbed in 1946 when they moved to the prefab. My Mum loved it there as she had a fridge and everything was new.

This picture was from a time when wedding celebrations took place in the house. Huge gatherings and tiny houses. However the love and sense of sharing was phenomenal. Tiny houses, big hearts.
